ITTC (International Teaching and Training Centre), Bournemouth:
Located in Bournemouth, on the south coast of England (just two hours from London), ITTC - the International Teaching and Training Centre - is the teacher training division of BEET Language Centre. We provide a wide range of certificate and diploma training courses for English language teachers. Courses include Cambridge CELTA and DELTA specializations, One-Day TEFL Introductory courses, TEFL Refresher classes, and more.
TEFL / TESOL English Language Teacher Training Courses:
One-Day TEFL Tasters (Introductory Courses):
Qualifying to teach English needs commitment - both in time and money. With no experience of English language teaching it is very difficult to decide whether you make that investment. To try and help you make your decision, ITTC runs a number of TEFL Taster days throughout the year to give you an insight into what will happen on a CELTA course and future career possibilities.
These 1-day courses take you from initial ice-breakers, through classroom management, grammar and lesson planning, to actually teaching a group of our own international students! The day includes lunch and an advice shop. We also suggest ways to help you prepare for the course.
